CMS: Proactive Nursing Homes will See Fines Slashed

Under a new final rule from CMS, nursing homes that self-report compliance violations and quickly address them will see their fines slashed in half.

In order to qualify for the reduced civil monetary penalties, facilities must report the violations before they are identified by CMS or state inspectors. The fine reduction will not apply in cases of immediate jeopardy or when patient harm if possible.
